Hannover gold Proof "Preussag Award" Medal ND (1965) PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC, Museler-15.5.5/7. 54.67gm. An immense gold medal awarded by the Preussag mining and foundry company executive board to senior employees for special merits. The obverse features the ubiquitous prancing Hannover horse above the Preussag coat of arms, while the reverse design draws directly from the Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel "Güte des Herrn Mine" Mining Thaler of 1743-1748 (KM920, Dav-2163). Essentially flawless, with deeply mirrored surfaces and heavily frosted devices, and quite eye-catching as a modern interpretation of classic numismatic motifs.
